Locked in a moment of longing and nobility, this striking real photo postcard captures Robert Donat and Elissa Landi in a tender promotional portrait from The Count of Monte Cristo. Donat’s naval uniform and Landi’s delicate sheer gown create a romantic contrast — evoking both resilience and refined vulnerability. The image is infused with theatrical light and cinematic texture, a still from a time when screen epics wore their emotion proudly.

Published as part of the Film Partners Series (No. P 153) by the renowned London publisher at 85 Long Acre, this postcard was produced to accompany the British release of United Artists’ adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ legendary novel. Donat, celebrated for his later role in Goodbye, Mr. Chips, was already considered one of Britain’s great leading men, while Landi brought Old World elegance to her performances. This promotional piece would have been sought after by filmgoers and collectors during the height of 1930s historical drama.

For collectors of literary cinema, classic British actors, or golden age romantic pairings, this real photograph postcard offers dramatic presence and nostalgic storytelling in equal measure. A beautiful tribute to enduring tales of revenge, honour, and redemptive love.
